I love it! I've been looking for a pastel green for quite a while so I had to get this in mint green. I love it! The nude is more peachy on me then nude but I like it.

These are great little polishes! I bought Nude and Innocent and am pleased with how they preform. However, they are not exactly true to color (although, not that far off either). Nude is actually quite pink and Innocent is a light taupe. Slightly different from what I expected, but beautiful nonetheless.

I got the color purple dream because it was very bright and shiny. When it arrived I was very mad because it was so dark. It looks more like royal purple mixed with plum.

I bought dark navy and it stains horribly! I applied it, accidentally brushed it against something, and used polish remover to try and start over again. What the polish remover revealed was a tinged blue nail that remained stained even after multiple rubs. Took a few days for it to return to its natural color! I also bought three other colors along with dark navy, but I have yet to try them. The staining has made me a little wary. However, I did try again with a base coat of another brand, and it did reduce the staining. For what it's worth, I do like the colors. If not for the staining, I would have given it a higher rating.

The polish was nice. I got mint cream, nude, lilac, and peach party. I have mint cream on now. It's a more blue-ish green, which is pretty, just not exactly what I was going for. Pretty nonetheless. The lilac is a lot darker than in the picture but that's okay for me, I have a couple light purple colors anyway. The nude is really pretty, a great color if you work in a business place where pastel or bright colors are inappropriate. The party peach though is GORGEOUS. Such a great summer color. It needed two coats because just one leaves it looking a little streaky. All in all, good nail polish. not fantastic but good and great for the price.

At first, I was skeptical about desert haze. The color looked dull and dead, but I knew that elf's colors are not always true.

The website reflects the color a bit on the grey side. However, I find that it's more of a taupe/matte/lightbrown color. One coat is sufficient to show its true color - it's rich (highly pigmented and matte) but not thick. It dries quickly and feels light (just one thin coat!). If you love nude and neutral colors, you will loveee desert haze. I am naturally tanned, so the color kinda matches my skin which I personally love.

However, I saw pictures where the color was on fair skinned fingers and it did look grey-ish. But on me, it's more lightbrown.

I got the nude color for an interview because I needed something subtle and this is perfect! Nice and matte with a clean looking finish almost like I put a clear coat on top. It hasn't chipped after four days and I only used one coat, so definitely a great value. Nude would compliment all skin tones, and appears like a more peachy coral, not pale pink as pictured.

I got the color color hoping it would be orangey and metallic like the picture. But when it came it looked like the Coral Dream color with gold shimmer. It's still really pretty, but I have a lot of pink nail polishes so I was just wanting something different. But I also got Smokey Brown and Chocolate and they are gorgeous and true to color. it's hit and miss with these but good for the price :)
